JPMorgan Chase has hired Bennett Consulting Group, the firm of former Utah Senator Bob Bennett, for input on the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill.
The Republican was elected to the Senate in 1992 and lost a 2010 primary challenge to Tea Party-backed Mike Lee. He served as ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee and was a member of the Joint Economic Committee.
Bennett has communications experience gained from working as president of Robert Mullen PR, Richard Nixon PA staffer, J.C. Penney Washington lobbyist and PR director of Howard Hughes’ Summa Corp.
His Senate aides Mike Nielsen and Mike Lee handle the JPMorgan Chase account. Nielsen was Bennett’s liaison to the financial services sector, while Lee prepped the Senator for JEC questioning of Fed chief Ben Bernanke.
BCG has offices in D.C., Salt Lake City and Shanghai.
